More About Us
Llaser Llamas started as a summer project for our three kids. Mamma Llama and I were tired of having them sit around the house with their faces buried in a screen. They would barely acknowledge us or each other by having an actual conversation. And when they did respond, they often didn’t look up.
So we told them to put up the devices and we all sat down to create something designed to:
- Get them off their phones, computers or other screens
- Encourage them interact with each other and their friends by having an actual face to face, in person conversation
- And teach them about business and entrepreneurship
The idea for a game started as were sitting around the kitchen table talking about what they could do to start a business. We wanted to create something that would be enjoyable and the whole family could participate in. We were inspired to create a game that we could play on one of our family game nights.
At some point someone asked “what if we created a game with Llamas?”
And that led to, “what if those Llamas had lasers?”
“We could call it Llamas with Lasers.”
“NO! Llaser Llamas!”
“That’s so stupid….it’s awesome!”And the idea was born.
My son and I brainstormed the back story about a peaceful pack of Llamas living in the city of Llamadelphia on the planet Llama Dhama in the Llamdromeda galaxy being attacked by an Alliance of Alpacas Spitting Spiders.
Our daughters developed the Llama design, the merchandise and helped with the game play. We wanted a game that was easy to learn for all ages, moved quickly and could be played multiple ways to add some variety.
Some early prototypes…
We’ve spent a little over a year working on the design, rules, prototypes, logo, website and making the business “official”. We’re now ready to launch and we’ll see where it goes from here.
We had fun as a family creating the game and hope you enjoy playing the game as much as we do.
